District is mourning Alfred Holzhauer: A life's work for the region!

Bad Hersfeld, Deutschland - The district of Hersfeld-Rotenburg mourns the loss of a formative figure from regional politics: Alfred Holzhauer. The former district administrator died at the age of 90 and leaves a lasting legacy in local politics. Holzhauer had been active for decades and contributed significantly to the development of his home region. His work is not only remembered by political companions, but also by citizens.

His political career began after graduating from high school and continuous further training in Hessian financial administration. From 1959 to 1983, Holzhauer worked in the upscale service at the Bad Hersfeld tax office before moving to the district administration. From 1983 he worked as the first district deputy and took over the office of the district administrator until 1997. A milestone of his term was the complete renovation of the Obersberg schools in Bad Hersfeld, which was realized with a volume of around 70 million D-Mark.

appreciation and commitment

"Alfred Holzhauer has emerged through tireless efforts and commitment," said District Administrator Torsten Warnecke (SPD), who expressed his deep regret about the loss of his predecessor. Holzhauer was not only active in the district council, but also in local committees. His role as chairman of the SPD parliamentary group between 1980 and 1983 and his 14 years in the district committee testified to his great political commitment. He was represented in the district council since the 1972 area reform.

In addition to his political activities, Holzhauer was also involved in club life. Since 1964 he worked on the board of the Railway Sports Association Weiterode and led this as the first chairman for five years. He was also active as a district law manager in the Hessian Football Association and was awarded multiple awards for his services. In addition, he had been the CEO of the DRK district association Hersfeld-Rotenburg for many years.

The challenges of local politics

Local politics plays an elementary role for the lives of the residents, as hlz.hessen.de emphasized. The decisions and the work of the local representatives have a direct impact on the social and economic development of a country. The challenges that the municipalities are facing are diverse: from economic and social structural change to the demographic developments and the integration of refugees. A fact that requires the commitment and cooperation of everyone involved to make the future positively.

In the successor to Holzhauer, it will be crucial to preserve his spirit of community action and proximity to the citizens. The current mandate supports - among them District Administrator Torsten Warnecke and the first district deputy Dirk Noll - face the task of set the course for the coming years, such as rim.ekom21.de emphasizes.

Alfred Holzhauer will be remembered as an outstanding personality who, with passion and foresight, designed the district's fortunes on behalf of many citizens. His death represents a loss for the entire community and reminds us of how important committed and responsible local politics is.
